ER visit

Noah had a great Christmas day. He slept late (8:30) and we had to wake him up to let him know it was Christmas morning. He enjoyed opening all of his presents and played with them all day. 
This morning he woke up feeling pretty bad. He has symptoms of a cold and has been coughing all day. He began throwing up around 1:00 pm this afternoon. He never complains about headaches, so when he laid down and told us his head was hurting and wanted to sleep we knew there was a problem. This afternoon has been a series of long naps, waking up and throwing up and drifting back to sleep. He has been complaining of his head hurting all day. We wrestled with the decision to bring him to the hospital. We hoped the head ache and nausea were just symptoms of the common cold. But we also have very little room to take risks, so here we are. His condition warrants that any change needs to be examined. Currently, he is unusually tired. He hasn't ran around at all today or had the usual energy. Jessica hasn't had to tell him to stop jumping on the couch once, so something is wrong. The good news about it all is that we spent no time in the ER waiting room. He was triaged and immediately put in a room. As you can see by the picture - he is thrilled to be here : (

So - keep praying. We don't know the next step. As of 8:13 pm we haven't seen a doctor yet. We will post something when we can.

Thanks for keeping up with Noah, 

Please spread the word.

Pray for Noah​

ER UPDATE 10PM:
We made a good call bringing him down to the hospital. The CT scan showed tumor growth and that is most likely what is causing the symptoms. We are being admitted. The staff will continue to monitor him until the surgery team decides what to do. Noah will be getting steroids to help the swelling in his brain. The good news in this situation is that he isn't going to the PICU, We are headed to the 6th floor. It's a better part of the hospital and Jessica and I will be able to sleep on pull out beds instead of a chair.

So for now, Noah is is a good place in good hands. We will find out tomorrow what the surgery plan is.

Thanks for praying - keep it up.
